Christmas Crafting- uh oh!

My mother is a teacher, and last fall we were looking for cheap ways to make window decorations. I suggested cutting out leaves or snowflakes with the cricut, and she asked if we could do Window Clings.

At the time I only had my Cricut Mini- so I set it up to draw, and we used the stencils from the designs with puffy paint on parchment paper, wax paper, and plastic bags to see if we could make our own window clings.

Spoiler - the only thing that worked was the puffy paint on the plastic bags or plastic wrap. Please don't waste your time on Wax or Parchment papers.

Here are some photos of the process. Stepdaughter assisted, but went more free form. It's really a shame more of these wouldn't come off the paper! They were so pretty!
